I don't know how to make this float function work correctly.

Seriously, you are just going round in circles. You HAVE TO WRITE SOMETHING SIMPLER so that you get to grips with variables/ if else constructions / functions. And you are going to have to do it in small pieces.
The current errors include, that you have called the function distance, and then used distance as a variable name (without declaration since line 16 is not in scope).
Line 25
that is the same as distance=1.0;
Line 24 would have been written as this
You are still returning a char* when you say you are returning a float.
You don't have ANY cout<<"Variable == "<<var<<endl; or anything else to actually help figure out the steps that your program is taking.
It will take a complete novice, a couple of hours to build this program up from basics, piece by piece BUT if you insist of trying to do it all in one go, you are going to be here are very very long time. The easiest way to program is alway to make a small modification to a working program that you understand. In your case. start with just the

Line 25
distance = squareroot/squareroot; well that is the same as distance=1.0;
Line 24 would have been written as this
squareroot = pow(x2-x1,2.0) + pow (y2-y1,2.0); without the horrible c-style cast. (which is unnecessary).You are still returning a char* when you say you are returning a float.

int main() { return 0;} program and add stuff from there. experience is the most expensive way to learn anything

You have a function prototype called distance AND you have a
variable called distance. I am not completely sure but your local variable
should hide the global distance function, or its just an error.
This :
is wrong, change it to :
And should you have calculate the distance inside your function instead of in your main like so :
Notice the return type specified, you need to change the prototype as
well to return string.

I give up! 1) What word becomes shorter if you add a letter to it? [ Solved by : niek_e ] 2) What does this sequence equal to : (.5u - .5a)(.5u-.5b)(.5u-.5c) ... 3) What is the 123456789 prime numer? Ask4Answer
